Netflix confirmed a second season of the Taiwanese political drama and says production began this week, with the returning campaign team entering government.

Taiwanese political drama Wave Makers has been renewed for a second season, and Netflix says production is already underway. The new episodes move the story beyond the presidential campaign: the staffers who worked to win an election now face the demands of governing and the compromises that come with new

responsibilities. Hsieh Ying-hsuan, Gingle Wang, Buffy Chen, Pu Hsueh-liang and Ada Pan are among the returning cast. The production team also includes returning director Lin Chun-yang, producers Jayde Lin and Leo Chiang, and writers Chien Li-ying and Cynical Chick; Su Chih-heng joins the writing team. Netflix has not

announced a premiere date or additional cast details. The first season followed the communications staff around a presidential campaign and received 14 nominations at Taiwan's 58th Golden Bell Awards, winning four, according to Netflix. Season two turns that workplace drama toward what happens after a campaign's

victory, when public promises meet governing decisions. The company labels the story for Taiwan in its announcement; the release does not give a new season date. Read Netflix's season-two announcement. Headline image: Netflix. Official or creator promotional artwork.
